Back Leg Issues

It looks like you only have two options at this point. Either take him to the vet or wait it out. Leave him quiet and undisturbed. Don't fuss with him at all..just mist and feed.

Here is the update...

He hunts and eats with a ton of vigor! He often misses FF's when they are off of the ground though(Like on pothos or an Oak Leaf)??? When the FFs are passing by his front feet or face, he is on target. He actively stalks FFs, and just has a no quit attitude. But, as we know, nature tends to put on a show of health until the end.

Maybe this is significant,maybe not... He has never(to my knowledge) been to the right side of the Viv. Like he is simply staying in a few spots here and there, but never traveling far beyond...

Did u read anything on the calcium after cold exposure. I'm glad he's moving around and eating, I hope he heals.

It's impossible to diagnose something like this over the internet - it's an internal problem after all. The cold has been known to cause problems for dart frogs and that's why I haven't been shipping since early November. I've read the thread you started about this on dendroboard and I think you got some sound observations, except Susan (Earthfrog there) likes to blame everything on chytrid. I sincerely doubt it's the problem. Get the frog to a vet or play it by ear.

Wanted to do an update, You can see clearly in the pics there has been no recovery.

It just makes me wonder if this just occurred since he/she acclimated so quickly to getting around and eating. Animals adapt fast and overcome handicaps as this one seems to have done.

Sad and sorry to hear he/she is not improving.
